Description
Little Waldingfield War Memorial is a First World War memorial made of Portland stone. It is located in the churchyard of the Grade I listed Church of St Lawrence, with Churchside to the west and The Priory to the south, both of which are Grade II listed.
The memorial features a plain, tapering Celtic cross that sits atop a tall tapering plinth and a two-stepped base. On the front (south) face of the plinth, there is incised lettering that reads:
"TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN/ OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918/"
The ranks, names, regiments, and years of death of the eight individuals who fell in the First World War are inscribed on the west and east sides of the plinth. Additionally, on the front of the upper step of the base, there is an inscription ‘1939-1945’, with further details of the fallen provided on the west and east sides of the step. The name of the sculptor is also incised in small letters on the front of the upper step of the base.
